My gsx1100efe

Been down the chicken shed tnt to have a bit of a mock up with the vapor blasted clutch cover and powder coated points cover .

I am quite pleased with the look tbh .

Also took a pic of my freshly recovered and chopped down front and rear seat .

Brought the sprocket cover back with me to get some stainless cap heads for that as well as the starter cover.

Been a bit distracted for the last week with another Suzuki i bought to sell , but its going down to my local bike shop on sale or return tmw . Think the first jobbie is engine covers back on , oil in and a fire up. Fingers crossed the carbs won't leak any more  . Pics to follow !

Thanks , from what i can gather its been off the road for some time , gsxr wheels front and rear powder coated along with the frame. Gsxr front end and freshly painted bodywork.

Hopefully i can get it over the line to be being permanently back on the road .

Motor  seems to be in good fettle , a few electrcal gremlins such as  the usual battery light on and the oil temp guage not working.

Cheers puddy  :)

 

have you found the problem with the battery light. my gsx1100 ef is doing the same, with at new battery fitted.

From what i have read somewhere on here , they were originally fitted with an internal battery condition sensor.  Those batteries are no longer available and there is a wiring mod to put the light out . Will let you know if i succeed with mine ,  i have a friend who is an electronics wizard so fingers crossed.

I  am using black plastic washers under the cap heads so as not to damage the fresh powder coat , so I  don't want to over tighten them.

Well , the running got progressively worse so back to the drawing board. Cyl2 seemed to have a problem so swapped no.1 and 2 plugs , ht caps etc to no avail. So off with the tank , checked coil conections , ht was really strong on cranking. So checked compressions ,all even . New plugs , checked fuel into carbs and fresh fuel in a bottle. Fired up , a bit fluffy then as it warmed up was spot on !

So very happy , might even book her in for an mot at last.

Always something to do , so decided to try some Star cycle headers I acquired recently along with a V&H street meg. 

Looks pretty cool , but the stock oil cooler is gonna be in the way . 

Also too k the front end out to replace the fork seals and dust covers.

You are both right of course........ but, probably be the only street efe you will see with them fitted !

Currently toying with another oil cooler setup , I  have a 10 row mocal type one in stock , just ordered some an-6 weld ons and looking at chinese mounting brackets and fitting kit , all in should cost less than a £100. 

Btw , got a V&H pro system for my kat coming too , watch this space , lol.

And it will hurt low down power. They are designed for an engine that lives most of its life @10k+ rpm and then for about 7 seconds LOL! Oh and for bikes that don't have coolers as well !

You were saying about oil coolers , on  my mates efe , lol.
